    I still have to change the others. I'm hoping I can flush the motor out and salvage it.

    It almost looks like it had something go through that cylinder? hard to tell from the picture but the only time i have ever seen a plug like that is when something entered the cylinder ( could be pieces of piston too) or detonation so bad that it melted the ground strap.

    I won't be surprised if it had 87 octane in it. It probably had a hell of a lot of kr

    if the low oil pressure light came on it's only a matter of time. you just did an oil change. that oil light comes on at 5psi, which is way way low.

    get ready to buy a short block.

    I have one laying in the garage. I'm going to try an engine flush tonight I figure it can't hurt. It isn't knocking yet.

    What Eastwood said.

    Anything less than 10~ and it's only a matter of time...really.

    Suxors.

    Maybe pull the front cover and blast out the oil passages and run seafoam through it like whoeveritis said earlier? Doubt it would help much...but I know after I had a motor let go, my pump gears were trashed in the cover. I replaced them when we put the car back together and had TONS and I mean TONS of pressure...like it never went under 40~ even warm, lol.

    Changed the pcv valve and the ticking noise went away as it was running I looked under the car and the oil pressure switch was broken and pissing oil out. That's probably the cause of the low oil pressure light. Hope a new oil pressure switch will take care of this all.

    Keeping hopes up for Dan the family man to get hooked up with a car that just needed a little TLC and not a motor.

    Got the oil pressure sending unit changed today. Also changed all the plugs. One rear one was finger tight and the end was gone but not misfiring lol. It still is making a ticking noise I might pull the rear valve cover and see where it's coming from I'm thinking chipped piston but I don't really know. I can hear in in the rear valve cover pretty bad in the #2 cylinder.

    Dan, can you swap out a chipped piston or do you have to rebuild?

    He could take the chance and just put a piston in and new bearing and see how long it lasts. I know sandman did that and his lasted for a pretty long time before he just swapped blocks.

    I probably won't get to look into any further until saturday. I drove it down the road yesterday and it seemed to shift good and everything. When I got it back home the tick seemed quieter. I'll probably try driving it around town today.

    So other than the tick tick noise everything is A-OK, no codes and somewhat tip-top? Is it road worthy or like way questionable?
    Old owners probably took care of engine the same way as the body and interior as cheaply as possible.....
    Good luck, sounds like almost a 180 on how it WAS running

    Runs great other than the tapping. I'll pull the valve cover Saturday and see what I find. Going to get a new battery for it today.
